Finding freedom
in and through the body
Movement Is Medicine
Starter Kit
Life can be overwhelming. People need you. There’s always something to do. And often, we find ourselves emptying our cup faster than we’re filling it.
This can lead to a quiet build-up of pressure, fatigue, and disconnection — from ourselves, our bodies, and what we actually need.
This will help you resource yourself using something you already have access to: Your body. Through simple, supportive, and pleasurable movement, you’ll begin to:
Step out of the busy thinking mind
Feel more grounded and present
Build a relationship with yourself that you can return to, again and again
This journey into living from the body comes in bite-sized chunks. There are no cathartic releases — everything stays within the window of tolerance of your nervous system.
The starting point is sensing into what it feels like to be at ease in your body, cultivating that, and integrating it — so it becomes easier to access in daily life, using the body as the way in.
Living the life of overwhelm?
Life can be full — especially when you’re caring for others.
Whether it’s clients, children, or the many roles you hold, your days can move fast. There’s a lot to do, and often you’re the one holding it all together.
In many ways, this is what you expected.
And still… it can feel like a lot.
But maybe it doesn’t have to feel quite so relentless.
The responsibilities don’t disappear — but how you meet them can begin to change.
Maybe there is more space than it seems.
More choice in how you move through your day.
And just maybe, even here, there can be moments of ease… and even pleasure in being alive.
How are you living life at the moment?
Or maybe you’re feeling overstretched — exhausted, giving so much that there’s little left for you — and something in you knows you need to recharge, to find a way to be resourced within your life… or at least to believe that it’s possible.
Or maybe you’re used to trying hard, all the time. Holding everything together. And underneath that, there’s a quiet craving for space. For a pause.
And maybe that pause is where something new can begin — a glimpse that there might be another way.
How I got here
I know because I have been there. There was all this talk about being present but I did not really understanding what it meant, or more importantly, how it felt to be present. I was just trying to survive, to be there for my kids and do my best to eat healthy meals.
Following a friend’s advise of ‘you should try yoga’ led me down a road, that has brought me here. For more details on my journey read here. So now I have spent over 10 years exploring these forms of movement in great details because for me, it is pure pleasure and I believe we need more pleasure and ease in life. The result of having access to presence, to myself and to beautiful connection with life around me was a surprising bonus and one I do not wish to live without.
Who I help
Mostly, I support people who spend their days caring for others — therapists, carers, and parents — who are living in a constant state of stress or low-level anxiety, and have simply had enough.
Who feel like something has to change… because continuing like this doesn’t feel sustainable.
Those who feel depleted.
Like the life has been slowly drained out of them.
Giving so much of themselves, with very little coming back in.
Those who are running on empty — carrying the weight of daily responsibilities, emotional labour, and care.
Still showing up.
Still doing what needs to be done.
But underneath it all, there’s a quiet sense of:
“I don’t know how much longer I can keep going like this.”
“The human body is not an instrument to be used, but a realm of one’s being to be experienced, explored, enriched and, thereby, educated.”
Upcoming workshops
This new workshop is on Friday and Saturday the 14th and 15th on Nov in Rathnew.
We will discover the pelvic floor in its entirety, sense it, strengthen it, release it and activate it and the muscles that work with it, in this intelligent co-ordinated system. As always this will be a nervous system reset, full of ease and comfort, respecting our limits and needs and stepping out of the busy-ness of our day-to-day lives to tune into ourselves, resource ourselves and integrate this so there is real change (if that's what you are looking for).
For men and women alike, the Pelvic Floor is so important and contrary to common theory, it is not always about strengthening it. More people have an over tight pelvic floor and therefore, releasing it is the problem. And muscles that are over tight, as you can imagine, have less ability to contract and release, less control, which is what they need to do to be functioning well. The PF muscle responds to stress by contracting and is responsible for so much more than peeing. It is crucial in our stability and balance and much more. So if you need to work with your pelvic floor or if you could do with spending time in a nurturing environment, restoring and resourcing, this might be a fit for you.
Friday the 14th Nov, 6.30 to 9pm and Saturday the 15th, 10.30am until 5pm.
The venue is Our Space, Rathnew
The cost is €120, booking deposit 35
Friday evening only, for €35
